Is the global era of massive infrastructure projects coming to an end?
Journal Contribution ResearchOnline@JCULaurance, William
Abstract
[Extract] We are living in the most explosive era of infrastructure expansion in human history. To meet the United Nations' development goals, we would need to invest tens of trillions of dollars in new roads, railways, energy ventures, ports, and other projects by 2030 — dramatically amplifying an infrastructure tsunami that is already shattering the world's biologically richest ecosystems. But this great wave of infrastructure development is suddenly looking shaky — and it might just be the best outcome for nature and humanity alike.
